Comfy central hotel
We had a great stay at Judges court. The location is very central, the bed was comfy and it was a powerful shower.
The paintwork was a little tired but otherwise a great place to stay.

Overnight Stay
Great little hotel situated in the center of things. Small room #5 but very clean and tidy. Great shower, quiet, fantastic staff. Recommend if you want to be in city centre. Taxi from railroad station is best with easy walk if Coney St. closed after 1030am.

Cute and Convenient
As a small, tucked away hotel in the midst of the city, Judges Hotel fit what we wanted n visiting York. History was literally written on the walls. It is tiny and the stairwell is somewhat difficult to navigate wit our travel bags, but the experience was worth it. Situated just blocks from everything, we enjoyed our stay.

Excellent city centre hotel
Booked a 1 night stay over in York on our way to Pendle, we had room 3 on the lower level. Getting a large suitcase down the 2 flights of stairs is a bit of a challenge but the room itself was well equipped, clean, lovely powerful shower, comfy bed and coffee making facilities. Perfect for what we wanted
Check in was available when we turned up early which was a nice surprise.
Very quiet with it being tucked away between shops.

Second stay better than the first!
Second time staying here and was even better than the first. Was on the top floor this time, lovely big bathroom and very quiet. Receptionists were super friendly on check in and check out. Thank you and see you next month!
Decrepit. Needs a total makeover. Some paint and grout cleaner would go a long way.

Great place and location
The location is really cool and in the right area for the visit. This is a historical site, so not the most up to date amenities. No room service or food. No air conditioning and it was fairly hot while we were there.

Absolutely unique property with great history. In the heat of York, walkable to all sites and great pubs. Not for you if looking for modern hotel, but great is you don’t mind a few ghosts. Excellent bedroom, bed and modern bathroom; average size with reasonable storage space. Fun stay.

We loved our stay at Judges Court. Our room and the location were excellent. The only down side were the stairs, which were difficult to navigate with a suitcase and bad knees.
